Oh, and avoid making remarks like \u201cHave you lost weight?\u201d and \u201cYou look thinner\u201d. Leave those intrusive thoughts at the door. Remember, fasting isn\u2019t about weight loss. In fact, more people gain weight during Ramadan!<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to skip? Making fasting into a test of endurance. Saying things like \u201cIsn\u2019t it really hard?\u201d might sound sympathetic, but it can reduce a deeply spiritual practice to a physical challenge. It\u2019s not a survival reality show. It\u2019s a meaningful act of faith. If someone wants to talk about their experience, they will. Otherwise, a simple \u201cI respect what you\u2019re doing\u201d goes much further.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-plan-thoughtfully\"><\/span>3.
